Cruel Summer (metal cover by Leo Moracchioli)

[@dirt_lot_photography]

This is not the Cruel Summer I was expecting. I was hoping for some Bananarama!

[@bill11king]

Me Too !

[@SpTigerJD1]

Same.

[@mrator]

I've noticed a trend... I'm 38 and I don't understand what the leo is a cover of 😮

[@zer0fish]

same here, very disappointed

[@billj.5440]

Same

[@SpTigerJD1]

Was expecting, and was in the mood for, Bananarama. But still good, always enjoy watching Leo play.

[@eljuano28]

Dang it. I thought you were gonna rock some Bananarama.

[@TheBigburcie]

A mashup of the 2 might have been interesting

[@jason3fc]

Same.

[@heathen6666]

I see I'm not the only one expecting some Bananarama! 😂

[@amy-janefoster982]

Now that would be fun - grew up with those girls! 😆

[@rebelsqk]

I was interested in finding out what he could do with Bananarama... This is not the same, but still good.

[@NierJr]

Came for Bananarama, stayed for the metal. That rocked.

[@coregeek]

Was expecting Bananarama but I’m not disappointed. This is the first time I’ve heard an entire TS song, glad it was Leo’s Version. 😊

[@ashleyhaddock4682]

@coregeek he’s done a few other TS covers and they’re all done so well (of course)!

[@Abelroad]

T Swift puts out bangers man, don't be hating.

[@coregeek]

@@AbelroadNo hate here. Just haven’t heard much of her music before.

[@brian99xt]

Did we all just get Leo/Swifty rolled?!?! Well, think this just means you now have to do Bananarama.

[@TheGerkuman]

Well, I guess it was always going to be a long shot that it was gonna be the Bananarama song. That should still be on the list though, Leo!

[@deanmikehotmailcom]

I thought for sure it was going to be the Bananarama song too. I even started to get goosebumps until I found that this was a Trashy Slut song instead.

[@matthewgeorge234]

Would've been a much better choice. I was very disappointed that it wasn't.

[@mrator]

I've noticed a trend... I'm 38 and I don't understand what the leo is a cover of 😮

[@TheGerkuman]

@@mrator Taylor Swift. Very popular song! It's not bad! But I prefer the 80's to modern. (Though I prefer a lot of 90's to 80's)

[@chelseahaley8350]

Its always a good day when we get a new Leo cover!! 🤘🫶

[@timdodd4920]

ABSOLUTELY!!🤘🏻

[@johnblaze4810]

Been listening for a few years now. I got to say Leo is probly one of the most talented artists. He does it all and can flip music to a diffrent style and make it look easy. Go Leo.

[@corygraziosi5239]

Baramama

[@timdodd4920]

Greatest cover artist of all time!!!🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@leolego]

Let's go, Taylor Swift with the heaviness! What do you wanna hear me do next? Let me know in the comments:)

[@PzG81]

Please make Imperial March from Star Wars 🤘🤘🤘

Week 5 of asking leo to do a metal cover of Domino by Jessie J

[@bobby-pr6eu]

King diamond - welcome home Jelly roll- love the heartless

[@seancallaway5204]

I'd love to see you do a cover of a cover and do "Hazy Shade of Winter".

[@dougrobinson8602]

The Simon and Garfunkel song as covered by The Bangles and then Leo. Yeah. I'm up for that!

[@carlpeters8690]

@@dougrobinson8602 Indeed. I think the Bangles version will be a challenge to top - But Leo being Leo ...

[@Remmy-iq3bs]

I love Leo but was hoping for the real cruel summer. Thanks for the cover though. Always love them

[@scottminshall6420]

Great cover Leo, now its time to cover the 80's Icon of Cruel Summer!

[@jeddis92]

Well, now you gotta do Bananarama's Cruel Summer.

[@squirrelwood8008]

I was expecting the unexpected. I was not disappointed!

[@AaronOfMpls]

Clicked expecting a Bananarama cover, yet still wasn't disappointed. 🤘

[@serhiypysarenko3479]

It's a cru, cruel summer, leavin' me here on my own!

[@brettjamele880]

It brings the original to a whole new different level!!!

[@benjamingoldstein9156]

I was tired of The original, but maybe this will refresh it. As usual, you killed it.

[@CharlesGriswold]

I think that all of the "I was expecting Bananarama" comments means that Leo should cover Bananarama. Just sayin'. Also, I was expecting Bananarama. Edit: Still, this song did not disappoint.

[@greenfreakninja]

The Warrior please. I think you would rock the hell out of it.

[@RobertGuidry-f3f]

His Daughter singing it? Signed-Richard.

[@stephensmith6462]

Not the crewel summer i was hoping for but still good

[@MrRockNRoll]

I thought this was gonna be a Bananarama cover.......now you know what you have to do 😊

[@janiebaker7105]

I absolutely love this . And Leo

[@генакотович]

Мелодично металлически))) Какие же крутые кавера Лео пилит!

[@CyberMage107]

Man. The vibe almost feels like Disturbed now. Well done!

[@nintendojoe2958]

I was hoping for Bananarama too!

[@SLIPKNOTSIXE]

I love all your titles because its the way people wanna here it from the original one ❤

[@NovaCollision]

What a great cover! I'm not familiar with Swift's original, but this was a lot of fun! I agree with other comments that you should do Bananarama's Cruel Summer someday, though. And my requests are Run With Us by Lisa Lougheed and the Transformer's theme by Lion!

[@drakocarrion]

Lisa Lougheed didn't write Run With Us. It was a Steve Lunt song first. Lougheed only covered it for the Raccoons movie. Lunt's original was the credits theme for the show until that point.

[@HBlatz87]

I'm with the 1000 other comments hoping this was Bananarama 😂

[@creeperlox]

That opening was so powerful, these videos keep getting better and better and I am here for it!

[@toaddie49]

Don't Stop Me Now - Queen Wang Chung - Wang Chung My Own Worst Enemy - Lit The Middle - Jimmy Eat World Bang a Gong - Santana Cover Version Appologize - OneRepublic The Blue Sky - Electric Light Orchestra Hooked on a Feeling - Guardians of the Galaxy Trailer version

[@TheNeoVid]

Songs I would like Leo to cover that I'd expect to have a .00001% chance of happening: The Firm: "Star Trekkin'" MC Lars: "Hot Topic Is Not Punk Rock" Spitting Image: "The Chicken Song" Thomas Benjamin Wild: "I've No More Fucks To Give" Keith Power: "We All Lift Together"

[@WastingSanityGR]

I was expecting the classic Cruel Summer. Not what ever this was. Bananarama... Not saying you performed this badly or anything.. just my hopes were dashed. Maybe in the future! Keep up the good work!!

[@Compman007]

I also would LOVE to hear you do a Bananarama version (or like others said maybe a mashup?!)

[@weimaranerdad]

From the looks of it I think we wanted Bananarama! Hahaha

[@ironmammoth7]

ROCK ON LEO!!!!

[@daniking3271]

As a swiftie I was getting worried you would skip the magic that is the lyrical bridge but you did something better and hit us with a metal bridge before and I DIED. nice job!

[@SkipsAngel]

I love your vibes! When I need a mood change I just watch your videos. Every video has me grinning ear to ear!😁 PLAY IT LOUUUUUD!!

[@gamon2]

@Leo - you're creating the best covers, especially of pop songs. This one is your one of best of the best covers at all.

[@redjack1876]

Not the song I was expecting, thought it was the song by Bananarama - Cruel Summer. Still even though its a Taylor Swift song, I still like it because it's a Leo cover.

[@stevelandress]

Leo is the only guy who can take a pop song and actually make it worth listening to.

[@autumngrace9401]

Feeling old. I was expecting a cover of the Banarama song.

[@patrickthijssen2042]

Been to Frog Leaps concert yesterday, it was so awesome, these guys rock.

[@jefflyons4435]

Look at all these Bananarama fans! You know what that means, Leo...we'll be waiting.

[@koolBOY8323]

glad i wasn't the only one expecting bananarama. this is almost a dissapoint.

[@nannyalberte]

I was so confused for the first few seconds of this, lol. I was unequivocally expecting THE Cruel Summer by Bananarama. Great cover, though :)

[@athenawunderlin211]

I hear this song every day on the radio at work; now I love it! Thanks, love!

[@GraceWhip]

My husband and I can finally bond over a song! He's such a diehard Swiftie and doesn't like metal unless it's a cover of a song he already enjoys 😅

[@Wdkontvid]

Love this song and love this version! Leo definitely knows how to rock!

[@jabbarmuhammad]

Excellent cover Leo I love the bananarama metal

[@gregkelevra670]

Awww... Really was hoping for Banananama too. But still awesome.

[@RealLifeHeroes7]

oh man I thought it was going to be the Cruel Summer from the 80's. the one that i first heard in the first Karate Kid movie from Bananarama. still sounds good though.

[@jdb2457]

ALAS!! The first ACTUAL officially awesome Taylor Swift song! Well done!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@tinny5033]

It's Friday and the rock god does it again, keep rocking it Leo. About time you did another duet m8

[@michellemiles9966]

Not being familiar with the original, (I was also expecting the other song --which would be awesome) so I had to look this song up. It's amazing to me how much more perfect it got after realizing who it was. 👏👏👏 Bravo, bravo. Our beloved boy genius strikes again. ❤ IT!

[@nodeptr3752]

Now you have to do: Bananarama - Cruel Summer...

[@emmanuelschmit9795]

Was expecting Bananarama. So I had to ggogle it to find out. Now I know at least one Tailor Swift song.

[@TanCoyer]

came for a banannarama cover too lol , like most dunno what this song is. regardless love leo

[@warrenhailes2388]

First Time I finish a Taylor Swift song. Thanks Leo

[@magausausa]

never heard this song, never have listened to tay tay, but man that was awsome

[@KS_Husker]

Never heard the original, but this is awesome. I don't even want to hear the original now, it can't be anywhere near this good. Nice job.

[@wcgems]

I was TOTALLY expecting Cruel Summer by Bananarama

[@OhGoFYS306]

Amazing still doing your old log of music.you push the envelope man your talent gives me joy sir!

[@antbymcnair4297]

This is some Taylor Swift that I can actually listen to! Awesome rendition. Your music slaps!

[@hannahwarriner6528]

That's a Great Song

[@JackMcSomeone]

Now Taylor has the third best version of this song. Your version and G Flip's version are equally great in my opinion

[@Chicanoverland]

You all have to admit, a Swifty song never sounded so good. Thank you Leo for making things right in the universe!

[@ridewithted2003]

Dude..... two things....First, I love the tone and distortion on the guitar. So tight and clear... Second... you are freaking awesome.

[@christinahines2542]

Looks like I'm the only SWEMO that was expecting this song. And enjoyed the cover! ❤

[@steffankorber2094]

Bin kein besonderer Tailor Swift Fan aber dies beweist, dass ihre Hits gut gemacht sind und auch im anderen Stil funktionieren wie in dieser super Version. Wirklich gut anzuhören, herzlichen Dank dafür!

[@ericawirta9922]

I get the chills every friday!

[@danieltrilling6295]

Hey Leo. This is a good one... Please do BTO taking Care of Business and Spencer Davis group with gimme some Loving with the Organ Intro. Thanks

[@Freedbird]

I can hear 'Taking Care of Business' also.

You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet !

[@andyhawkins5463]

I was expecting the best and that's what I saw and heard. Thanks once again for epic music Frog Leap!

[@kirknelson156]

Don't take this the wrong way but I was really looking foward for your take on the Bananarama song Cruel Summer, I had no idea Taylor Swift had a song by the same title.

[@SteveDave29]

Oh! T swiftie! Got it now. Give us BANANARAMA, Leo!

[@rest00]

Was hoping for Bananarama :( Still a good cover but not was I was hoping for when I clicked

[@davey2765]

Leo. You have an awesome ability to take songs I would never listen to and make them kick ass. You sir have amazing talent. Don't ever quit. BTW as an 80's kid I always wanted to hear you do Kids in America by Kim Wilde. Just sayin'.

[@lotharrenz4621]

this is evidence that Taylor is in dire need of more metal in her songs. MANY more metal. \m/

[@wowmawc]

Such a good song, the chorus sounds different but it hits the same. Weird as that sound. Great cover.

[@hurshiibomb]

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSS ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@SoSo-ej3gu]

I love your twist on every cover you do ❤❤❤ Keep up the great work! 🎸

I’m literally obsessed with this cover! 😅

[@CanterPirouette-b4w]

Thank GOD for Leo. He makes shit hole songs worth listening to. :)

[@shanejohnson5318]

I don't think this what was anyone was expecting. But excellent none the less. If I may ask, any chance of getting Bananarama Cruel summer or possibly your hardest take on No One Lives Forever - Oingo Boingo?

[@tracezachdaniels4264]

AND ALSO THIS IN MAC TODAY [[ music appreciation class]] GREAT job all much love tee with Lions Named Leo the music worldwide.!

[@isaacbeeby2528]

This just proves to me that Taylor needs to come out with a full on rock album. Yeah, we got a taste of what that might be like with Reputation, but she didn't go all the way with it.

[@MistressMitra]

😂was expecting bananarama too!!! Love this too

[@cathybannister1311]

Yes, haven’t even got past the ad and already love it.

[@thepayne7862]

There are so many songs out there that have the exact same name. If it wasn't for covers of Taylor swift songs I never would have listened to any of her songs.

[@zekemckillip]

Love this cover, as usual it is great, but I'd be lying if I said I clicked on this thinking it would be Taylor Swift and not Bananarama...
